Excellent. Seems stronger than the original sram.
Hello. I installed this bottom bracket to replace my old sram. It is much smoother and the installation is easy thanks to the press ordered at the same time. Not the slightest noise, it seems very good.

Nice quality, good bearings
I've never had experience of press-fit bearings before so I thought I'd try to get better quality ones to hopefully avoid the dreaded creaking issue. These certainly seem to fit the bill. They are made from metal rather than the plastic which seems to be so common with press-fit, and the two halves have an excellent seal which should prevent water ingress. The bearings themselves are smooth and seem well made and well sealed. One of the things I like about it is that the bearings each side are the correct size; if you buy SRAM's own bb it comes with 2 x 24mm bearings with a shim on one side to bring it down to 22mm. Performance has been faultless so far but since it's only covered 230 miles I would expect nothing less. Certainly no sign of creaking as yet and the chainset is running perfectly true.

Well-mounted flexible bearings
Fine to assemble, always straight. Possible to leave the sleeve in and just put the bearings in. Which is a lot cheaper in the long run, and affordable to use better bearings

Easy to fit, seems great so far!
Having only installed this a week ago it's hard to give an opinion on longevity but initial impressions are good. Stopped horrible creaking from OEM BB. I think I would get the more expensive one from wheels manufacturing when I buy another, just to ensure that there is no creak as this one is just pressfit.
